WELCOME TO THE BLOG

My own love story started when I was 16, and I married that brown-eyed, dimpled, high-school-sweetheart of mine 6 years later. (Best decision ever.)

If we would have tried to plan a fall session with pretty colors like this, it wouldn’t have worked out. Who knew there would be BEAUTIFUL colors like this in December?! The seasons are unpredictable in SC—did you see that they’re calling for snow next week?!—but I’m not complaining! Shana wanted something woodsy for their […]

Remington Matthew McCall was born April 19, 2018 weighing 7lbs 8oz. He looks like his daddy, loves to snuggle, and has the sweetest little coo. <3 I had the best time at this session loving on him and getting to catch up with his sweet parents.

I was so excited when Carrie (Jackson’s mom) reached out about having me do Jackson’s senior portraits. Jackson played on the baseball team my husband (boyfriend at the time) used to coach (11-12 year olds), and so it’s crazy that Jackson is all grown up now and graduating high school. We met at Gilbert High […]

I can’t believe my baby niece is FOUR. (I have 5 nieces and it’s so crazy that the youngest one isn’t a baby anymore!) That makes me feel so old! It feels like just yesterday she was born. Brayla is the sweetest, sassiest little thing ever. She loves doing everything her big sister does, and […]

What’s better than 10 cute, tiny baby toes? TWENTY baby toes!!! This was my first ever newborn session, and I was definitely challenged! One baby is a handful, and so having double babies is…a treat! (: I have to give props to all the twin (or more) parents out there. You guys are the REAL […]
